There were more revelations in the ongoing Secret Service scandal Thursday, as whistleblowers accused agents of years of sexual misconduct, according to Washington Post's latest report on the Senate's Homeland Security subcommittee hearings on the matter.

Carol D. Leonnig and David Nakamaura's report claims that 17 countries were besmirched by the agents, though only one is mentioned by name: Thailand, where, in 2009, an agent missed his plane to South Korea because he was wasted in a brothel. He was flown back to the United States on a commercial plane "at great expense" while our national debt climbs ever higher. According to the whistleblower's testimony, he was never punished.
